KickStart

Kick Start is designed to keep the kids busy from the moment they arrive in small

groups of ideally six. This helps to keep control, keeps kids busy, involved and

creates a sense of identity and security with their peers and their leader.

Re Fuel

Re Fuel involves an ice-breaker/game, telling the Bible story for the day in a way

that brings the story to life. Worship and prayer are all a part of this interactive

time. It is also important to welcome 1st time visitors, sing happy birthdays and

take up the tithes and offerings. It is good to revise the previous week’s lessons

and the memory verse.

X-Celerate

X Celerate is the time that the children go back into their same small groups as in

Kick Start and do an activity with the leader while being asked questions and

discuss what they have just learnt.

For the Leaders

As our heavenly father is pouring out His love and Spirit in this hour,

we have the wonderful opportunity to raise up a generation that knows

the Father’s love and intimacy. The world our children live in is full of

lights, flash, multi media and entertainment, a place where they can sit

back, be entertained and get bored. We want to introduce them to a

God that is full of life, who is exciting and yet never changing. A God

that will empower and equip them to bring signs and wonders to the

earth so that they can reach the lost for Jesus.

We want to see children hungry for His presence. At the same time we

can’t expect children to be operating in the gifts of prophecy or

healing or eagerly pursuing Gods presence, when we the leaders are not

desiring and seeking God first and foremost in our lives. My prayer is

that as we go through these next 8 weeks that you as leaders will have

stories of how you have been equipped to bring heaven to earth to

share with the children.

Grade 0-1 Week 1

What was God thinking?

Memory verse: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is

in heaven” Matthew 6 vs. 10

Bottom line: God only thinks good thoughts about me.

Object Lesson: (must be rehearsed before-hand)

Items needed

A big Bucket with a big visible heart stuck onto the outside of

the bucket

Bible

Sand ( building sand is best)

Several small spades and buckets

Ball

Glove or sporting equipment

Magnifying glass

Clock

Small gift

Picture of finger prints

A treasure chest with mirror inside, must be filled with jewels

and treasure

Bag with inheritance written on it

6 signs with “WE are his kids”, “WE are his friends”, “WE are

God’s people”, “WE are Royal Priests”, “WE are sitting in heavenly

places”, “WE are valuable” written on them .

Begin by asking the children the question “what was God thinking when

he made you” Get some feedback from the children. Ask them how

many would like to know? Pick up the magnifying glass and invite the

children to come on a search with you. You could dress up like an

investigator “Sherlock Holmes”. Tell them what you are about to

discover is going to be amazing. Get creative with your multimedia (CSI

investigation music and media etc) and background music.

Take out the bible and “search” with your magnifying glass through the

bible until you discover the passages of Psalm 139 vs. 17 and 18. Use

the magnifying glass to read them out aloud (show up on screen

4

creatively). Take the shovel and scoop out some sand and put it the

hands of a few of the children (on stage) and ask them to try counting

the grains for a few minutes. Remind them that this is just a small

amount of sand compared to the desert or beach (show picture of

beach or desert dunes). Re-emphasize Psalms 139 vs. 18.

Show the “Gods heart bucket” to the kids. With the magnifying glass

look inside and pull out “WE are his kids” sign. Read from John 3 vs. 1.

Take out the inheritance bag and explain that we have an inheritance in

Jesus. Pull out the pieces of paper with joy, love, peace and protection

on it that are in the inheritance bag.

Pull out the sign ”WE are His friends” Read John 15 vs. 14. As you pull

out the clock talk about how we like to spend time with our best

friends. Ask the children what things they like to do with their

friends, get feedback and let them know that Jesus wants to do those

things with them too.

Pull out the “WE are Royal priests”. Read 1 Peter 2 vs. 9 and explain

what it means to be a priest. Tell the story of Samuel when he was

little and ministered to the Lord. Emphasise that we all are able to

minister to the Lord.

Pull out “WE are Gods people” Read 1 Peter 2 vs 10. Take out the

picture of a finger print and explain how these identify us. The

fingerprint shows that we are special and unique and that we belong to

Him. Discuss what it means to have His identity and that we were made

for Him to love and to be loved.

Pull out “WE are sitting in heavenly places”. Get up on a ladder. Read

Eph 2 vs 6 aloud from the raised place. Explain that we are next to God

and are therefore in a safe place. He enjoys our company and has given

us a place of authority.

Pull out “WE are valuable” sign. Take the money and jewels from the

bucket and read 1 Corinthians 7 vs 23. Describe that because God was

so willing to pay a great price for us, we are very valuable to Him. (Pull

out treasure box with mirror face up at the bottom of the chest. Don’t

tell the children about the mirror). Have the children come up one by

5

one to “discover” Gods treasure. Tell them to be quiet so they don’t

give it away to the others.

End off by reminding and showing the sand. Remind them that God’s

thoughts are many. Have the children sit and ask God to pour His

thoughts all over them. Encourage them to tell about some of the

thoughts that God has for them.

Activity: Making a heart bucket

Items needed:

- Yoghurt containers/1 per child.

- Red paper hearts big enough to fit around the containers

- Contact glue or tape to stick the paper onto the containers

1. Get the children to draw a happy smiley face on the heart

2. Stick the hearts onto the container using the glue

3. Discuss with the children the concept of Gods heart bucket and

what are inside as well as our own heart buckets and what’s inside

our hearts.

Encourage the children to take the heart bucket home and to think of

different objects that describe what God’s thoughts are towards you

that they can place in the bucket. Encourage the children to talk about

these different objects next week.

Grade 0-1 Week 2

4 keys to bring heaven to earth

Memory verse: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is

in heaven” Matthew 6 vs. 10

Bottom line: We have the power to bring the good things of heaven

to earth.

Object Lesson:

Items needed

God heart bucket

Clear bucket filled with dark coloured water

Large rock

Jesus costume

Sword

Rope

Scissors

Picture of dynamite

4 signs : “GLORY”, “PEACE” “JOY” and “HEALTH”

4 cardboard keys (cut in the shape of a key) an A3 size with the

words “PRAISE” “PRAYER” “PROPHETIC DECLARATION”, and

“PROPHETIC ACTS”

Before you begin, fill the bucket with coloured water to the very top.

Have a person dressed in the Jesus costume, ready. Place the 4 signs in

God’s heart bucket.

The purpose of the story is to explain to the children that God wants

heaven to come to earth. Explain Mat 6 vs. 10 when Jesus taught His

disciples to pray. When Jesus did miracles through the power of the

Holy Spirit He would say “the Kingdom of Heaven is here.” (Have a child

stand in front to hold the signs). Take the signs from the bucket one

by one and describe them saying the Lord wants these to happen on

earth.

Demonstrate what happens when the kingdom of heaven comes to

earth. Show the bucket fill with dark water and explain that the water

7

represents all the bad things of the earth like sickness, war, fear.

Show them the large rock and tell them it represents the kingdom of

God. Place it in the bucket and see how the water is displaced. Explain

that the kingdom of God pushes the bad things of this world away when

it comes to the earth. We are the ones that bring the things of heaven

to earth.

Explain that there are ways to bring heaven to earth. Hold up the first

key. PRAISE Have someone dressed as Jesus holding a sword. Play

praise music and get the children to dance. Let them know that our

praise is like a rocket that reaches heaven and Jesus responds by

coming to destroy His enemies.

Hold the second key up PRAYER. Have Jesus standing beside you with 2

children, rope and scissors. When two or more are gathered in my

name, I am there. Have the 2 children praying in agreement. Have

Jesus walk up to them and join them.

The third key is PROPHETIC DECLARATION (you will need a picture

of dynamite) When we speak what God wants us to speak, things will

change. Remember that God spoke the universe into being. Describe a

situation that needs changing in their schools or families. Have the

children come up and speak out what God wants to do in these

situations. Explain that these declarations are more powerful than

dynamite and that they will blow the plans of the devil up!!!!

Key 4 is PROPHETIC ACTS. Explain that doing certain acts brings the

Holy Spirit to change things on earth. Use the examples of Jericho and

the marching around the walls with the trumpet as an example of a

prophetic act.

Activity: Making a key ring

Items needed:

key rings

Pieces of small card that have the words, praise, prayer,

prophetic declaration and prophetic acts written on them. 1 each

for each child

1. Get the children to colour in the pieces of small card that have

the words, praise, prayer, prophetic declaration and prophetic

acts written on them

2. and explain each one to the children, referencing the object

3. Punch a hole through all 4 and put key ring through so that you

have made a key ring

Grade 0-1 Week 3

God’s healing love

Memory verse: “They will place their hands on sick people and they

will get well.” Mark 16:18.

Bottom line: It’s not God’s plan or will for us to be sick and to

suffer.

Story:

Items needed

Thief costume (balaklava, black tight pullover, black gloves,

torch)

Jesus costume

Balloons

Signs saying “DISEASE”, “SICKNESS”

Big cross

Nails, hammer

Throughout the story, emphasise that there is no sickness in heaven.

God’s heart is for healing and health.

Opening drama skit. (You will need 3 children for this skit, the thief, the normal child and

Jesus). You will also need 2 balloons and signs saying sickness and

disease. Have a child walking happily across the front of the room

carrying two balloons with the words HEALTH and LIFE written on

them. Have the thief come and snatch the balloons away from the

happy child. Thief then gives the child the signs that say sickness and

disease on them. As the child receives these signs he/she falls to the

ground and begins acting very sick. Have the thief laugh at the child.

The Jesus character comes now and takes away the signs from the sick

child. He then takes the balloons from the thief and gives them back

to the child. The sick child gets up, now healthy and happy. Jesus

points to the door and the thief slinks away. Jesus then takes the new

healthy child by the hand and they can walk away together smiling.

Explain the skit and the freedom we have in Christ.

10

Demonstrate with the use of the cross that the sickness and disease

signs are placed at the foot of the cross (use nails and hammer to nail

these signs to the cross) and that Jesus took them onto himself when

he died so he wants us to live free. Make use of multimedia for this

part of the demonstration.

Encourage the children that because they are saved and possessed by

the Holy Spirit, God wants to use us to bring healing to those who are

sick or injured. Let them know that they can minister in school,

hospitals, shops, home……. Anywhere. Create an environment where

children can pray for one another, family others they know are sick.

Encourage children to always share testimonies of everything that God

has done the following week etc.

Activity: Making a cross with signs of disease, illness and death pinned

onto the cross

Items needed

Pieces of dole rod that can be used to make a cross. 2 each, one

shorter than the other for each child

Pieces of small card that have the words, sin, illness, death

written on them. 1 each for each child

Prestick and string

1. Get the children to glue/prestik/use string to tie the pieces of

wood together to make a cross

2. Colour in the pieces of small card that have the words written on

them

3. Glue each sign to the cross explaining that these things were

taken away at the cross by Jesus when he died.

11

Grade 0-1 Week 4

Steps to praying for healing


will get well” Mark 16:18.

Bottom line: God has given us the power to heal sick people

Story:

Items needed

Bible

2 signs “ONE WAY” or “JESUS CHRIST”

Briefly review the lesson from last week, God’s healing love. Use the

multimedia video made. Encourage the children that because they are

saved and possessed by the Holy Spirit, God wants to use them to

bring healing to those who are sick or injured. Let them know that they

can minister in school, hospitals, shops, home……. Anywhere.

Have two children come to the front and give one sign to each child.

Healing is a sign that “points” to something greater - a relationship

with Jesus. (Have the child with the one way sign point it towards the

other child with the “Jesus Christ” sign. By praying for the healing of

people’s bodies, we can also point them to Jesus so they can be saved

and their heart can also be healed.

Go through the steps with the children. Put together a funky multi

media presentation to help illustrate the steps

1. Smile and act friendly

2. Ask( where they have an injury and if you can pray for them

3. Pray (come Holy Spirit)

4. Speak( “leg” be healed in Jesus name)

5. Command (100% healing)

6. Encourage (the person being healed to share what God has done

by telling others)

7. Invite (them to Jesus if they don’t know Him)

12

Activity: Making a caterpillar with lots of segments to his body

symbolising the steps we need to take when we pray for someone to get

healed.

Items needed:

circles cut from cardboard, 7 circles for each child with the

names of the above headings already written on

1 big circle for each child for the head of the caterpillar

Beans for the nose

Pipe cleaners for the ears/feelers

Koki’s/crayons/pencil crayons

Punch

Split pins

glue

1. Punch holes into circles and join them with split pins so that it

makes a caterpillar.

2. Draw eyes and attach ears to the caterpillar. Might be good idea to

thread ears into cardboard so that they remain attached.

3. Decorate the caterpillar

13

Grade 0-1 Week 5

Journaling

Memory verse: “Then the Lord said to Moses “Write this on a scroll as

something to be remembered and make sure that

Joshua hears it” (Ex 17:14)

Bottom line: God wants us to take time to listen to Him and to

write down what He says to us.

Bible Story: Moses and the 10 commandments (Deut 5:1-22)

At the end of the story, place a sign saying “God”. Rush past the sign

talking to yourself about things you have to do, or even praying to God

without waiting for an answer. Explain how we wouldn’t rush past our

friends but we would stop and to talk to them. God also wants to spend

time with us. Slow down, stop and sit under the sign. Try to pray to God

and to talk to him but you just can’t seem to concentrate. Hold up the

heart bucket and show it to be full of clutter. Explain that we can’t

receive things from God when our hearts are full of all the stuff in our

lives except for him. Empty the heart bucket and start to quietly

praise him, singing softly and thanking him for the things he has done.

Then be quiet – this is the time we hear from Him. Take the bucket and

point it upwards to “catch” Gods presence. God wants to show us what

he looks like to the ears and eyes of our heart.

Have the children sit quietly and listen to God. Be sensitive to the

spirit and lead the children into their small groups without losing the

moment so they can discuss the things they heard with their small

group leaders.

14

pieces in between and line them up

3. punch holes in through all the paper and thread sting through to

make a journal

4. decorate the front and back

15

Grade 0-1 Week 6

2 Doors to freedom

Memory verse: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.”

Galations 5 vs. 1

Bottom line: We can live free from feelings of anger and fear


Items needed

A Childs heart bucket

Torch

Hammer

Jesus costume

Thief costume

Oversized padlock made from cardboard (see instructions) one

for throne zone and one for safari park

anger

Have one helper dressed in Jesus costume and another dressed in

thief costume. Have a child hold the heart bucket. Tape “peace” “love”

“joy” signs to the bucket, explain that these are the things God wants

us to enjoy. Have the thief come in and remove the signs in from the

heart bucket and put “fear” sign on the heart.

Over the mic (from behind) have a voice that reads “the way the enemy

steals these gifts is when he comes to bring fear”. Thief puts “fear”

sign on the heart.

Bring out the padlock and attach “lies” sign to it. “Lies from the devil

are like a lock on a door” Give examples of lies on the projection,

written out for the older children. Some of the lies the devil feeds us

is “something bad is going to happen, you are not special, and you are

going to get hurt. Again from the mic, a voice reading” when we believe

these lies it can keep us from doing normal things…. We become like a

16

prisoner” call a child forward and get them to put the padlock around

their necks.

Read John vs 8:32 and have the Jesus character come and shine the

flash light of truth on the padlock. Speak words of truth over the child

such as God has made you in His image, He thinks good things etc. The

Jesus character removes the sign and padlock from child’s neck and

removes “fear” sign from the bucket and replaces it with “joy” “peace”

and “love”

Remove all signs from the bucket

The door of anger

Have a child stand with the heart bucket and say that another door

Jesus wants us to break through is the door of “anger” Place the

“anger” sign on the bucket. The lock of the door of anger is

unforgiveness. Place the “unforgivenesss” sign on the lock and out it

around the child’s neck. Ask the children for examples of anger that

they experience that can result in unforgiveness.

When we pray and ask Jesus to come we will be set free. Have the

Jesus character come in with a hammer with forgiveness written on it.

Have Jesus break the padlock and with the hammer and remove the

padlock from the child’s neck, then have Jesus remove the “anger” sign

from the bucket and replace it with the “love”, “peace” and “joy” signs.

Remind children that God loves them and wants them to stay free

Activity: Making a padlock

Items needed:

- Velcro

- Padlock bottom and top cut out onto thin card board.

- Contact glue or tape to stick the Velcro onto the cardboard

- Pattern of the padlock assembled

1. Get the children to stick the Velcro where the pattern indicates

3. Colour in and decorate their own padlocks.

17

4. Discuss again how Jesus came to set us free and how we live free

Encourage the children to take the padlock home and to think of

different things they are fearful of or angry about and get them to

remember that the padlock is to remind us that Jesus has set us free.

19

Grade 0-1 Week 7

God has good things to say

Memory verse: “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual

gifts, especially the gift of prophecy” 1 Corinthians 14

vs 1

Bottom line: God still speaks to us in today’s world


Items needed

A large cut out that says “I love you”

A radio or picture of a satellite dish

Telephone

A bible

Blanket

Rope about 3 meters

Signs that say – “no future”, “no correction”, “no scary stuff”. Put

a red line through it so it looks like a no entry sign.

Signs that say- “comfort”, “edification”, “exhortation”

Begin the lesson by saying the God is talking all the time. He talks to us

because he loves us. Hold up the big heart. Read 1 Corinthians 14 1-3.

Go on to explain that communication is a 2 way thing and while our

speaking is praying, God also speaks but we have to learn to hear him.

Use the satellite dish and say that God is talking all the time but we

need to turn our hearts toward him in order to receive what He is

saying. Point the dish to the wall where it won’t work and then point it

to heaven where it will work and where you can receive images from

heaven. At the same time have the following pictures come up on the

overhead, things like a picture of someone’s wife, a house. Say things

like God can tell you who to marry one day or what house to buy etc.

When God speaks through us to someone else it is called “prophecy”.

Use the telephone to teach that God is speaking through us. We can

become a telephone when God makes a call to someone else.

20

Move on to the purpose of prophecy and the prophetic boundaries.

God uses prophecy for edification- hold up sign. That means to build up

the body of Christ. Words have the power to build up, blow the balloon

or to deflate and break down. Let the balloon down.

He uses it for exhortation. That means to draw near. Have a child at

the end of the rope and draw the child in while he holds onto the rope.

Explain that this is the way He draws us near to Him. He also uses it to

comfort. Wrap a blanket around the child to illustrate the comfort.

Hold the signs of don’ts up. The ones with red lines through. We don’t

tell the future, no scary stuff and we don’t correct. Even though God

knows the bad stuff he speaks only good things through prophecy.

Activity: walkie talkies

Items needed:

- Picture of walkie talkies (get off the internet or a Childs book),

one for each child

- cardboard

- glue

- scissors

1. Get the children to decorate the walkie talkies

2. Cut the walkie talkies out and paste onto the card board

3. Cut out the walkie talkies after they have been pasted onto the

cardboard

4. Explain to the kids that talking to God is a two way process, we

speak to him and we have to learn to listen to him. Recap some of

the things that have to happen before we can listen to him.

21

Grade 0-1 Week 8

What language does God speak?



vs 1

Bottom line: God speaks in different ways

There will be time created in worship for the prophetic to flow after

the short lesson. Also create space in the small groups for children to

pray for each other and flow in the prophetic.


Items needed

Signs with the following written with a small diagram underneath-

pictures, dreams, visions, colours, bible, numbers, impressions,

hearing, words of knowledge, smells

Each of the above is a language the God speaks. He speaks to us in

unique ways.

Hold up each sign and explain how God uses the different ways and give

and example of each if possible. Ask the children if they have a

testimony of any of them. Get the children to hold up the signs to

make it more interactive. Use pictures on the overhead to make it more

interactive too, possible sound effects if possible. Use biblical

examples for each.

Pictures- you can see a picture

Dreams- while you sleep (Joseph)

Visions- images seen with our mind, they can be like a photograph or a

movie

Colours- God used a rainbow to make a promise. Different colours mean

different things

Bible- you may think of a scripture verse or reference

Numbers- mean different things in the bible

22

Impressions- feelings or emotions you feel when you are near to

someone- Jesus felt the power coming out of him when the sick woman

touched him.

Hearing- you actually hear the voice of God

Words of knowledge- you know something very specific about the

person

Smell- sometimes children smell things that are meaningful to the

other children.

Activity: Making a collage of the different ways we can understand

His language.

Items needed:

- Photo copy of the pictures of the different ways God speaks

- Red paper (one for each child)

- Glue

- Scissors
